alaw.org/cox If you decide to contribute to the ride you will receive a 'free' refrigerator magnet (click hear to see a picture of the magnet).
As the ride actually progresses across the United States this summer I will be posting notes and pictures to this web page that document my progress. For now, however, please visit alaw.org/cox to learn about how you can be come a 'virtual-big-rider' this summer and participate in the ride with me.
A note about the training ride table below: I will be riding 3300 miles this year in "The Big Ride" and I expect to ride about 2200 miles between now (2004.01.01) and the end of June (2004.06.28). That total is 5500 miles and is the same ordinal as the amount of money I must raise to participate in the ride. So if you look at the training table below you will see how I'm doing when I compare my miles to my goal. Also a note about the $5,500.00; of that total $2,750.00 will cover the logistics of the ride. This is the amount of I have contributed to the American Lung Association of Washington. Another way to think about this is to subtract 2750 from what I've raised so far to see the amount that does not count what I personally contributed.
Note: About training miles.
